Publisher's Synopsis
The benefits of being a vegetarian are abundant. Vegetarianism is an empowering choice that can improve health, increase the quality of your life, save hundreds of animals each year, and help prevent environmental destruction. Vegetarians abstain from consuming any red meat, seafood, or poultry. Many vegetarians are also vegan and choose to abstain from dairy, eggs, and other animal by-products such as gelatin and animal-derived rennet. The bad news is that it can seem like an expensive lifestyle at first glance, but it really is doable on any budget.
